PhD Neuroscience & Psychology

Course Overview This PhD program in Neuroscience and Psychology offers a comprehensive research experience aimed at understanding the central nervous system, from cellular mechanisms to complex human cognition and social behavior. Students will tackle major challenges in biological and medical research by investigating both normal brain function and disorders such as stroke, schizophrenia, and chronic pain. The program is supported by world-class imaging infrastructure and computational facilities, providing a unique environment for cutting-edge translational research. Key Program Highlights Access to state-of-the-art research facilities, including human cognitive imaging platforms, high-field animal scanners, and advanced microscopy suites. Multidisciplinary research approach integrating molecular, cellular, systems, cognitive, and social levels of analysis. Focus on translational applications for a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including stroke, pain, and schizophrenia. Opportunity to investigate diverse topics such as brain imaging (fMRI), synaptic plasticity, neuromodulation (TMS), and social interaction dynamics. Training in advanced computational and analytical methods for processing complex neural data.
